#How to install starcraft remastered upgrade#
I removed the default gateways since they will only ask you to upgrade to SC:R. The only gateway currently included with this is iccup. This means that StarEdit and all of the blizzard maps will remain from the 1.16.1 version, so let me know if you think there is a benefit to including blizzard maps for other versions and I can add them in to a separate map directory or something. When installing or patching to a different version, it currently only changes starcraft.exe, patch_rt.mpq and related binaries. The installation also includes WMode.dll for windowed mode plugins and SFNoCD.dll to play pre-1.15.2 versions.

This makes a full 1.16.1 installation, including StarCraft.mpq and BroodWar.mpq. It's primary use is to create a full 1.16.1 installation, but it can also install/patch to any pre-1.17 version or reset the registry to point to an existing SC installation. To remedy this (and since SD SC is apparently now free), I present the Starcraft Classic Installer.

If you did it right, you'll be able to launch it via the Extras panel in the Mass Recall main menu.During Mod Nights it has become common for people to not be able to easily switch to various SC versions, or to not even have a pre-SC:R installation at all. Enslavers Redux' and put it in the StarCraft II\Maps\Starcraft Mass Recall\Extras directory. You'll need to rename its directory to ' 8. While not included in the main download, Enslavers Redux can plug into Mass Recall. Mass Recall was a large team effort - check out the mod's page for full credits. You don't even need to be logged in to play, making it DRM-free too.

Run that, and it should unpack everything else to where it needs to be, and drop an icon on your desktop to launch the mod.

Grab your copy of StarCraft 2 (either purchased or free), download all of the v7.1 (not 7.0) files from Mass Recall's SC2Mapster page directly to your StarCraft 2 directory, then unzip the installer only. While Mass Recall is a huge mod, it's easy to set up. It also includes the prelude missions from the StarCraft demo, a handful of missions where you play as Stukov based on the N64 version, and support for Enslavers Redux, a new campaign built on Mass Recall's foundations. Unlike the original, this mod includes difficulty settings, with Hard being comparable to vanilla StarCraft (it was a tough game) and the new Brutal setting designed to push players hard. Unless you pick those changes yourself, Mass Recall's missions are mostly unchanged since the '90s, but look and play nicer thanks to StarCraft 2's better UI. Today's new version also lets you disable the use of non-Blizzard music during some new in-game cutscenes. Where lore appropriate, you can add Brood War units and tech to the original game, add expanded hero characters to more missions and generally bring it a little closer to modern spec. Thanks to an extensive in-game options panel, you can tweak it to be as close to vanilla as StarCraft 2 will allow, or to embellish a little. While not a perfect 1:1 adaptation (that's what Remastered is), Mass Recall remains my favourite way to play the story of an RTS classic. While Mass Recall borrows assets (voices, cutscenes, etc) from the original game, Blizzard have made no effort to halt the previous six versions of this project. They've put in a ton of love and effort in an attempt to make this the definitive version of StarCraft's story mode.

Today's v7.1 release is the most polished version by far. The release of the Remastered version and some big patches for SC2 prompted the team to do some renovation work.

Technically, Mass Recall has been around for years, and was 'complete' previously. Below, a trailer comparing Blizzard's own StarCraft: Remastered to today's new Mass Recall. When I last covered this and other SC2 mods, only the first three campaigns were available, with the remaining missions needing work to keep up with StarCraft 2's mod-breaking patches. Better still, it's compatible with the free SC2 Starter Edition, effectively making it a free game.

It's a StarCraft 2 mod remake of the original StarCraft's campaign, expansion, demo and more. After some delays, StarCraft: Mass Recall is complete and ready to play.
